O.S. ThinTerminal is an resource-wise optimized operating system for thin clients. Being designed for low processing power, small memory and small storage capacity machines, it contains only the software necessary to start and maintain a remote connection with a server.
Different from O.S. ThinDesktop, where a local desktop system is loaded, with user applications and connection protocols, the goal of the O.S. ThinTerminal is to be just a connector, with minimum resource usage. It can be used on machines with 64MB of RAM, 32MB of storage and processing power as low as 300MHz, and it is still able to boot fast and load a remote desktop in less than 10 seconds.
O.S. ThinTerminal launches a remote connection as soon as the graphical environment is started, which is preconfigured by the system administrator. Once configured, the client device will not require updates, reconfiguration or reinstallation.
The remote connection protocol currently supported is Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) provided by the Microsoft Windows Terminal Services, making O.S. ThinTerminal the ideal solution for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) based on RDP: environments where thin clients are used to connect users to their respective remote workspaces and remote desktops. XDMCP support is planned and will be available soon. A list of capabilities and features of the system can be checked out below:
O.S. ThinTerminal is simple: you can easily set up a connection and change it anytime later; it is secure: it is based on GNU/Linux and all configuration operations require administration password; it is fast: with few software resources to load and manage, the system takes full advantage of the hardware to run the main application.
Make your RDP-based solution worth your money. With a low cost per license, O.S. ThinTerminal offers a variety of options for RDP connections, and more will still come as the development of both the FreeRDP client and O.S. ThinTerminal itself progresses.
Configure your terminal to suit your needs. Static or dynamic IP address configuration, network name for the machine, video resolution and refresh rates, serial port configuration, connection features like domain participation, performance tweaks etc.; let your machine perfectly adapted to your environment.
The system allows access to several resources like USB disks, sound, printers, serial port devices and smart cards through the connection. You get a lightweight and feature-rich terminal.
Three languages are already supported: English (United States), Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Spain). But if you aim to sell on a market in which any of this languages do not fit, do not hesitate to contact us for the possibility to add support for a new language.
